The Final Three Bring Their “A” Game on American Idol
I think it’s a tough call for this round of American Idol. Jordin Sparks, Blake Lewis and Melinda Doolittle pulled out all the stops last night. It was probably the best Top 3 show to date. Each contestant sang three songs, one picked by the judges, one by the producers and one by the contestant.
Jordin Sparks - A Jordin did a wonderful, jazzy rendition of her first song, “Wishing on a Star,” which Simon picked, but really heated things up with the producers’ lame pick “She Works Hard for the Money.” Her final choice was “I Who Have Nothing” which cinched her place in the final two.
Blake Lewis - A Blake went totally beatboxless in Paula’s pick, “Roxanne” and proved he doesn’t need a gimmick. The producers picked Maroon Five’s “This Love,” an excellent choice to showcase Lewis’ talent, and once again, he kept the beatboxing at bay, using only a sprinkling. His own choice was Robin Thicke’s “When I Get You Home” and in my opinion, he won’t be going home this week.
Melinda Doolittle - A Randy’s choice for Melinda was Whitney Houston’s “I Believe in You and Me” and Ms. Doolittle has consistently made us believe in her. The producers picked Tina Turner’s “Nutbush City Limits” and once again, she proved she’s got moxy. Her own pick was “I’m a Woman,” which, if I’m not mistaken, she sang once before on the show.
As I said, all three contestants brought their “A” game, but someone has to go home tonight. Although it’s a close call, I believe we will be saying goodbye and goodnight to Melinda.
